Chapter 56 Leaving the Ruins
The inside of the tree roots is hollow, and the crystals separate the space of the roots, preventing the root skin from growing further inside.
If we wait until the tree roots are almost completely crystallized, the crystals will probably become nutrients for the osmanthus tree, and Qin Zhiyu will have no chance of survival.
If the osmanthus tree was still alive, Qin Zhiyu would probably have a fierce battle and might not be able to defeat the osmanthus tree.
I put on sheepskin gloves and reached in to take the crystal. I didn't know what would happen if I touched the crystal nakedly.
But two gloves may not be able to withstand it, they can just provide a barrier, although this crystal has healing power.
Over-supplementing will cause nutritional excess, which the skin will definitely not be able to withstand, so the more you can withstand, the better.
Qin Zhiyu slowly explored inside, it felt oily and soft, pushing his hand in felt like sliding in oil.
Wrapped in the sticky energy fluid, his hand became hotter and hotter, and the closer he got, the hotter it became. When his fingertips touched the crystal, the feeling was already burning. Qin Zhiyu gritted his teeth and held the crystal tightly.
Got you!
Qin Zhiyu felt the energy flowing through her sheepskin gloves and up her entire arm until her entire body was filled with crystalline power.
But in just one breath, she could feel her blood boiling. There were many gaps in the tree roots, and there was plenty of oxygen.
At this time, she could open her eyes, her red and bloodshot eyeballs bulging, and it was obvious that her body was enduring the crystallized energy beyond its limit.
[Crystallization energy overflow detected. Crystal nuclei are within the collection range. Do you want to store them in the system?]
【yes! 】
Qin Zhiyu chose to confirm without any hesitation and put the crystal into the system. If he held it again, he would explode and die.
Now that we have the big ones, the small ones won’t be so difficult.
The most important thing is that Qin Lan and the other three cats are obviously not inside the big one. So, the most likely place is in this last piece, which is larger than the other tree root nodules.
Qin Zhiyu couldn't help feeling a little nervous as she held the scimitar. She was already in the center of the blood pool.
However, there was still no trace of Qin Lan and the others during the investigation. Only these two nodules had abnormal crystal fluctuations. There was no trace of them in the largest one, so only this one was left.
What if?
She didn't want to think about that what-if.
Qin Zhiyu held the scimitar, his palms slightly sweating, and dug hard at the tree roots, using greater strength and faster speed than last time.
Wear it!
"Meow!"
It was Qin Lan's cry!
Qin Zhiyu was overjoyed.
"Xiao Lan! Are you all in there?" Qin Zhiyu shouted.
"Master, Qin Mo, Qin You and I are all here. As soon as we approached the blood pool, we were drawn in."
"The attraction emanating from the crystal was extremely strong at first, but it was partially absorbed by the tree roots, and then it suddenly stopped just now."
"We are absorbing energy and are about to break through the tree roots!" Qin Lan said.
"Okay, as long as it's safe." Qin Zhiyu said in his heart. "Wait for me, I'll break it from the outside!"
"Meow!" Qin Lan responded.
Feeling the attraction of the blood pool, Qin Lan seemed to be possessed. The energy in the blood pool was endless, like fresh meat full of energy, exuding attraction.
The moment it jumped into the pool of blood, full energy filled its entire body, and every strand of its hair was filled with energy.
The filled cells begin to evolve.
Qin Lan's nails grew longer, harder, and denser. They could now easily split wooden boards that they could only penetrate before.
Its jumps were easier, allowing it to easily leap over trees five meters high.
It can smell the scent of all living things within a dozen kilometers.
"Master, I am very strong now." Qin Lan said proudly, while actively demonstrating his abilities.
A claw grabbed the tree root, and a large piece of the root fell off visibly.
"It would be beneficial to stay in there." Qin Zhiyu couldn't help but hesitate when she thought of this. If she let Qin Lan and the others out early, would it affect their evolution?
"Master, if we stay here any longer, we won't be able to evolve any further." Qin Lan said.
"Then I'll help you out first, and then we'll leave here quickly." Qin Zhiyu heard this and no longer hesitated. He worked harder to help Qin Lan out.
Qin Zhiyu reached his hand into the nodule at the root of the tree and could feel the unique energy within the nodule seeping into his flesh.
But when Qin Lan and the others released it, this energy gradually disappeared into the blood pool.
The energy prompts in the system also ended.
Qin Zhiyu led Qin Lan and the others upwards. They could open their eyes in the blood pool. She could feel that Qin Lan, Qin Mo and Qin You had evolved all over their bodies.
The two little ones were born with super powers and stood at a higher starting point than other mutant creatures.
Qin Zhiyu knew that there was originally an energy crystal in this nodule, but when Qin Lan and the others were absorbing it, they happened to encounter the mutation of the blood osmanthus tree.
The blood osmanthus tree originally only roughly used its root system to circle energy crystals, but it grew rapidly after a while, desperately absorbing the crystal energy, and even Qin Lan and others who were evolving on the periphery were trapped inside.
The crystals in this nodule were absorbed by the three cats and one tree and completely disintegrated into energy.
Qin Lan and the others also endured and broke through the initial energy turmoil and mutation with the help of the Blood Osmanthus Tree, and adapted to the rich energy environment.
The sudden death of the blood laurel tree prevented too much of their energy from being absorbed and lost by the tree, ensuring their full secondary evolution. It can be said that they gained unprecedented benefits.
After Qin Zhiyu learned about all this, he was very happy for Qin Lan and the others. This was a double blessing, as both humans and cats gained enough benefits in this business.
Bai Qianyu, who jumped into the pool of blood, is in a situation that can be said to be unlucky, but also lucky.
Unfortunately, he didn't get any of the good stuff like energy crystals, the "big piece of meat".
But compared with these misfortunes, Bai Qianyu's luck seems very touching.
If he hadn't jumped into the pool of blood, the violent energy outside could have easily killed him.
Because this relic is not like the ruins that you have passed through before. After passing through, it will be closed and wait for another group of people to arrive.
If the sculpture leaves its original position, it will not be able to continue to stabilize the changes in the energy field of the ruins, and the ruins will be directly destroyed and collapsed.
Bai Qianyu, who stayed inside and waited anxiously, will also be destroyed along with the ruins.
Although he himself didn't know it all.
However, he made the most correct choice and jumped into the pool of blood at the critical moment, although he did not feel the changes in his body caused by the largest crystal.
But the small amount of energy tempered his flesh, allowing him to survive the turmoil and reap the benefits effortlessly. "This blood pool isn't as corrosive as sulfuric acid." Bai Qianyu jumped into the pool, and his skin didn't tear as expected.
There is still some discomfort caused by the stimulation, but it is still bearable.
Bai Qianyu's swimming skills are not bad, and his movements in the water are as smooth and free as a fish.
He also saw the intertwined tree roots at the bottom of the pond, which happened to be connected to the osmanthus tree that he had seen fall with his own eyes.
Such a huge life just fell like this?
Bai Qianyu was shocked and couldn't help but sigh.
He was still far behind the vitality of the osmanthus tree, and his feelings at this moment were even worse than the grief of a rabbit dying and a fox mourning its own death.
As Bai Qianyu swam downwards, he gradually felt the warm energy.
After the initial stimulation to the skin, the pool of blood gradually became gentle, and he continued to move down.
The warm and nourishing feeling became more obvious the further he went down. He suddenly thought, could this blood pool have any benefits?
Thinking of this, Bai Qianyu found a suitable position, leaned on the tree roots, and quietly felt the blood flowing and the wonderful feeling of his body being recharged.
At this time, there was no interference from the osmanthus tree, no energy crystals continuously releasing energy, and the gentle blood pool released oxygen bubbles, so Bai Qianyu was lucky not to feel the trouble of lack of oxygen in the blood pool.
The energy in this position is too much if it's too little, and too little if it's not enough. Bai Qianyu immediately realized that this was the most suitable place for him.
Qin Zhiyu and the other three cats, although not all together, were consuming the remaining energy in the blood pool together.
At this time, Qin Zhiyu and the others were in the place where the energy was the most concentrated.
For the strong men and three cats, the energy of the blood pool became gentle and comfortable.
Soaking in the blood pool is like soaking in a hot spring, nourishing the skin and flesh without causing irritation or discomfort.
After experiencing multiple tortures of body and mind, this was a rare moment of comfort. Qin Zhiyu squinted his eyes and quietly enjoyed the tranquility.
…
"We're out."
While Qin Zhiyu was taking a hot spring bath, she felt the change in the environment. She held the sculpture tightly and immediately put it into the storage device as soon as she came out.
Although there was oxygen in the blood pool, breathing was still not comfortable, so she kept taking out sculptures to generate oxygen.
There was no longer a sticky pool of blood around them, and their bodies were no longer covered in blood. They were quietly soaking in a clean pool of water.
"Meow!" Qin Lan saw Qin Zhiyu and swam out with the two cubs with peace of mind. Cats are born to swim.
"This place doesn't look like the residential mountain we entered." Qin Zhiyu came out of the water and looked around.
In the flat and open forest, birds and cicadas all sing rhythmically in low voices. It doesn't feel noisy, but rather there is a charming tranquility.
Even if you are quiet, you cannot let your guard down.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Zhiyu suddenly saw that the system skill showed that there were still two opportunities for exploration, and it was already the second day!
In other words, there will be a high temperature disaster tomorrow?
I spent the whole night in this pool of blood!
Qin Zhiyu couldn't help but be surprised, but the benefits that followed were also huge.
"Master, I can make my claws longer and sharper!" Qin Lan said.
As soon as I thought about it, I saw Qin Lan, showing her metallic nails that were shining in the sun to Qin Zhiyu, with her little face raised, very proud.
Qin Lan interrupted Qin Zhiyu's thoughts and checked the system messages.
Every time I come out of the ruins, the natural disaster system is full of information.
There are news about experience points increasing and news about killing various monsters.
There are also various messages such as reminders about what activities have been carried out during this period, etc.
The most common thing is that each channel has accumulated more than 99 chat messages.
"I have also become stronger, and my physical fitness has improved by leaps and bounds!" Qin Zhiyu said with his eyes lighting up as he looked at the rows of various system prompt messages.
Just as they were about to take a closer look, it was clear that Tianzai didn't want them to rest and catch their breath.
[Upgrade completed, the second natural disaster - high temperature loading completed]
[Due to the early activation of the high temperature disaster, the severity of this disaster has been increased. Plant a sun in each provincial channel.]
[Note: Planting the Sun is a special space. Please choose whether to go there. Please make a choice within 30 seconds.]
[Warm Tips: Warriors who capture the Sun Planting Project will receive special rewards.]
[High temperature disaster totals 8 days, loading completed]
[Countdown begins…30, 29, 28,…]
30s?! So short?
Qin Zhiyu began brainstorming. She had to come up with a result in a short time, whether to go or not.
If I go, what should I do with Qin Lan and the others in her family? Can I take them with me?
They are very strong now, so she doesn't have to worry at all. They have a keen sense of smell and can return to the base safely without taking them.
After all, once you leave the ruins, you will be near your own shelter. The rules will not change, so there is no need to worry.
It would be great if we could bring Qin Lan and the others in, so there’s no need to worry.
What if she couldn't get in? The enhanced version of the natural disaster had a special reward clearly stated by the system! To be honest, she was tempted.
It had been a long time since she had received a reward that moved her or made her feel different.
Whether upgrading or expanding her shelter, she would need a large amount of supplies. How would she get the supplies?
Making money is a long process. The only way to get rich quickly is to open treasure chests, and the only way to get rich quickly is to take risks. This is the secret to making money!
The level of the shelter is related to Qin Zhiyu's provincial first place and the world channel first place he desires.
She is determined to achieve the heights she has not yet reached, and she will never give up those that she has!
so……
【Confirm to enter】
Qiao Yi looked at the system prompt, silently wiping his halberd and confirming in his mind.
The Dawn Shelter, which is on the same provincial channel, surely wouldn't miss the opportunity to clash with the powerful...
The third place on the list of Qingcheng Shelter, which has been active recently in the provincial channels, has also made the same choice.
You are very strong, and my shelter is not bad either. A gleam of unwillingness to admit defeat appeared in Tang Jinye's eyes.
Qin Yanheng, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, Mei Xunmei in another province, and Bai Qianyu, who had just escaped death, all clicked the confirmation button at the same time.
Among those on the list, few are cowards, and many lack courage.
Especially when they are at the top of the list, who would miss the opportunity to compete with the list?
Who would miss the system’s clear “special reward”?
Anyone who leaves the shelter and competes in the special space has the opportunity to obtain first-line rewards.
While waiting for the transmission, Qin Zhiyu couldn't help but think, why did the second natural disaster suddenly activate ahead of time? Isn't there still one day left?
The last day of the Dark Day reward settlement, which was originally a rest time, was directly upgraded to a "high temperature disaster"!
You must know that with every day of natural disaster, the power of the natural disaster will become more abnormal!
What the hell is "planting the sun"?
30 seconds passed in a flash.
Everyone who clicked OK and made the same choice was taken by white light to the area where the sun was planted.
The time of movement is very short, and it arrives in the blink of an eye. During this period, no movement can be seen or heard.
Everyone was teleported into a special space.
By the time my feet stepped on the ground, it was already a different piece of land.
It was a bare patch, with burn marks in many places.
As soon as you come in, you can feel the scorching heat waves hitting your body again and again.
